First of all, I love that this book is produced and printed in the United States of America. Thank you, Farcountry Press of Helena, Montana.
Full of great information, this book is perfect for someone who is getting ready to take a trip to Glacier National Park and for Montanans who have been many times. There is a nice map on the first page.
I especially enjoyed reading the "Geology" and "Peopling the Park" chapters. Also, I had never heard of the "Ghost Forest" and really want to go see it now.
